Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
After standard 3 port pars plana vitrectomy(PPV),a probe specialy desinged for the surgery was used to penitrate into the optic nerve head along the central retinal artery, at the same time, diretcly massaging along the central retinal artery wall (5-6 times, about 3 minutes).If the circulation did not recover, then a scleral depressor was used to press the optic nerve slightly retrobulbarly 5-6 times (about 2 minutes).
